Tech Tip of the Week: Don’t forget to use your Outlook Calendar

From the IT Group:

When you are away teaching class or in a meeting, remember to put your classes and appointments on your calendar. While you may remember when it is time to teach your class, others who are trying to schedule an appointment with you may not. Mark that time on your calendar, so others know exactly when you are available.

Also, when you are away from the office for a day or longer, let folks know by using your out-of-office assistant. Simply open Outlook, go to “tools”, “Out-of-Office Assistant”, select that you are “currently out of the office” and create a reply everyone will receive when they email you. Now they will know you are not in and will be happy to wait until you return. Don’t forget to set a temporary voicemail greeting as well. Your bases will be well covered and you can relax and enjoy your time away.

If you have any questions regarding this or any other technology issue, please contact the HelpDesk at 358-2532, e-mail helpdesk @keene.edu or stop by our office on the 2nd floor of Elliot Hall.
